Tough season thus far for the ice fishing in Iowa, well most of Iowa. Has anyone been out? I fished a farm pond in NE Iowa a few weeks ago. I am hoping to go back there next week . I have been out probably 10 times, but we have more ice here in SE MN. I am making the 7 hour drive to Lake of the Woods next month with my son. My buddy bought a wheel house and we will be going to Mille Lacs several times in the next couple months. I was really hoping Lake Erie would freeze this year, but I don't think that is going to happen this year.
